Following the success of their debut album, 'Eros Anikate', Berlin-based DJ and Producer
couple Local Suicide return with the first of four remix EPs for their release, each named after an
ancient Greek god.
The Greco-German duo is known for their wild fusion of new wave, acid, slow techno, EBM, and dark
disco that has been driving live audiences into a frenzy across the globe. Their debut 'Eros Anikate'
comes after 13 EP releases, which have received acclaim from the music press worldwide and earned
them the title of key figures in the up-rising dark disco scene. The LP includes selected vocal features
and collaborations from Lena Platonos, Curses, Theus Mago, Kalipo, Hard Ton, The Hidden
Cameras and more. Earning immense support from the likes of Mixmag, Der Spiegel, Tsugi, Faze,
Inverted Audio, Sonic Seducer, Starwax, Side Line, Ransom Note, Groove, The Sun, Kaput Mag,
Electronic Groove, Deutschlandradio Kultur, Lifo, Spotify and Apple Music, 'Eros Anikate' marks the
duo's next step on their journey to a worldwide techno-disco takeover.
'Eros Anikate - Adonis Remixes' is a 5-track EP featuring two remixes for 'High Buildings w/ Lee
Stevens', one for 'Whispering w/Curses', and two remixes for 'Hercules Adonis'. The EP will be
released on digital and vinyl formats via their Iptamenos Discos imprint on September 16th, 2022.
The EP opens with a remix of 'High Buildings' from the German cold wave band Die Selektion. The
band, formed in 2010 from another experimental post-punk project, draws influences from new wave,
orchestra, techno and 80s synth pop, creating a unique blend of styles that is both melancholic and
danceable. Their use of the trumpet and deliberate choice of German-language texts sets them apart
from other bands in the genre, earning them success in Germany and beyond. Their remix of 'High
Buildings' is a faster, grittier and more aggressive rework of the original, contrasting punk style vocals
and harsh, saw bass lines with the soft ambiences and vocals of the original track.
The second remix for 'High Buildings' comes from Berlin's own Jennifer Touch, who adds arpeggiated
acid-like synth sequences and warped vocals for an energetic and driving edit. Touch is known for her
unique combination of vintage synths, industrial soundscapes and visceral post-punk snarl. Her music
is heavily influenced by her memories and observations of the social climate during her upbringing in
East Germany, filtered through a young and naïve mind. After the wall came down, her musical tastes
expanded beyond 80s pop, and she embraced the bleak and rough techno of Berlin's burgeoning
underground, forming the post-wave, cold-pop acid sound she is known for today.
Cornelius Doctor's remix of 'Whispering' strips back the guitars and staccato synth lines, opting
instead for softer oriental style pads and drones, textures and percussion for a slowed yet bouncy and
vibrant remix. His style sits at the convergence of cosmic, discoid and wavy sounds, with percussion,
dark synths, psyche voices, breaks and bells as some of his best weapons. Since starting his Hard Fist
label in 2016, Cornelius Doctor has been an advocate for an uninhibited and expressive approach to
dance music, opening club music to world sounds and bringing back the essence of dancing together
ritually.
Rodion, known as the 'new genius of Italian Dance music', offers the first of two remixes for 'Hercules
Adonis'. He is heavily influenced by soundtrack composers such as Morricone and Goblin, 70s
Japanese sci-fi animation soundtracks, classical music and Balearic club culture, making emotional,
freaked-out electronic music that sits somewhere between cosmic, synthesised funk and the dramatic
soundtrack of an Italian horror movie. His remix of 'Adonis' is no different, adding frantic percussion
and stuttered, choppy synths that build tension and drama.
The final remix for the EP is from Alejandro Paz, a DJ and producer from Santiago, Chile. His sets are
recognisable for his energetic approach on stage, where he sings and dances, and his music selection
that showcases the most recent productions of the Latin panorama. His upbeat remix of 'Hercules
Adonis' brings in percussive rhythms, bouncy bass, and silky synth pads for a groovy and energetic
tune that closes out the EP on a high.
